Re: chicago meet up

Even walking about on a Saturday evening can be fun. I've met cool random people on the streets. It also feels liberating for some to just be 'out' in both the proverbial and literal sense of the word.

Well, I don't know what there is to do for the under-21 crowd.

Perhaps lovewill has some suggestions.

Oh, and I do BBQ when it's warmer. So there's always that. =]

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
Give a man religion, and he'll starve praying for a fish.

I see. If there's not much for an under 21 guy I will probably just wait until I turn 21. Thanks for the info!

Re: chicago meet up

I've never been to any place with a gay theme or that is openly gay and I heard boystown has lots of those places so its been in my mind for a while

But since I'm only 19 I guess I'll stick to restaurants and places to eat or other places for under 21

sadly there isnt much to do for gay teens in boystown. its one of the critiques of the community and also why the center on halsted was built. the gay community is changing everywhere, gettin younger and younger. our community institutions need to reflect that.

the center on halsted hosts lots of interesting groups. one of my friends goes to a gay latino literary circle. another attends a dance group i believe.

as for roaming the streets, i wouldnt encourage it. another critique is that the local police seems to pounce on loitering (add young and of color to the mix and ur guaranteed an encounter with the police).
